POCKET-STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 18, 1919.

Application filed December 13, 1917. Serial No. 206,934.

1 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it. known that I, GEORGE H. FRITZ- sorrn, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, and resident of the borough .of Brooklyn, in the city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pocket-Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an ,improvement in pocket stoves, with the object in view of providing a convenient and efficient device which is portable and readily cleaned and replenished with fuel.

Another object is to provide means for preventing the too rapid combustion of the fuel and the consequent overheating of the stove.

A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents my improved stove in perspective, a portion of the outer asbestos covering being broken away to show the perforated sides of-the stove, and

Fig. 2 represents a longitudinal central section through the stove.

The body of the stove comprises the perforated sides 1 and imperforate bottom 2 permanently united. The removable imperforate top is denoted by 3. The stove is provided with a lining 4 of fireproof porous material, such, for instance, as asbestos, which lining extends along within the sides 1, bottom 2 and top 3.

The fuel 5 may consist of comminuted asbestos and charcoal.

To prevent a too rapid combustion of the fuel and the consequent overheating of the stove, I provide the perforated side walls of the stove with an outer covering 6 of suitable fireproof porous material, such, for instance, as asbestos.

To put the device in use, a charge of the asbestos and charcoal mixture is put into the stove, which mixture may be lighted by means of a match or cigar, etc. The stove may be used with or without a protecting bag, not shown herein.

After the charcoal has been consumed, the asbestos may be again used by adding an additional supply of charcoal thereto.

What I claim is:

1. A pocket stove for loose comminuted fuel including a perforated fuel receptacle, an inner fireproof porous lining and an outer fireproof porous covering.

2. A pocket stove for loose comminuted fuel including a fuel receptacle having a bottom, a removable top and perforated sides, a fireproof porous lining for the bottom, top and sides, and an outer fireproof porous covering for the sides.

3. A pocket stove for loose comminuted fuel includin a fuel receptacle having an imperforate bottom, a removable imperforate top and perforated sides, a fireproof porous lining for the bottom, top and sides, and a fireproof porous outer covering for the sides.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name this tenth day of December 1917.

GEORGE H. FRITZSCI-IE.
